I was unplugging the cover and it crumbled apart. Any idea where I can get one? Another thread suggested it was part of the entire radio assembly and not sold individually.

I'd rather have the correct one than a 3rd party plug from Amazon/eBay.

 

I have the same issue, and in none of the other threads were anybody able to find a solution. Could you link me to the 3rd party plug you found?

 

How old are your cars? Do you park in the sun a lot? I don't think I've ever had that issue. Though the longest I've ever kept a fit was about 3.5 years. I also usually park in shaded parking garages at work so that probably saved me in the Phoenix heat.

Would be nice to know if this part is available separately. I could keep a spare lying around whenever I needed one as this is likely the last fit I ever by (unless they redesign again to return the fun to these cars).

 

The plug was on amazon. Just search around and you'll find something. I didn't like it.

My Fit is a 2010 and it's usually parked outside.

 

mine wasn't due to UV degradation but rather it was just missing.

DannyBoy, what were the search terms you used? I typed "rubber aux plug" "aux cover" "honda 3.5 cover" etc and couldnt find anything

I don't know what year your car is, but I just bought one from my local Honda dealership for my '13 Fit sport. The metal receptacle and the plastic cover are each sold separately. Each part was about $9-$10 with my discount.

FYI: Taking the receptacle out is the pain. If you buy the power port cover, don't snap the cover and receptacle together until you've positioned them together through the dash panel, and you're ready to complete the installation. Once they've snapped together they are a pain to get apart.

 

2010. Can't find the part anywhere online. Do you have a part # or something?

 

You can confirm that the part # I give you here is correct for your year Fit by going to Collegehillshonda.com. You will find the part by entering your year of car-interior bumper/bumper> instrument panel garnish passenger side.

The part you're looking for is cap assembly 39620-TAO-003 It lists for $12.55
The metal electrical assembly that you plug into for power is a socket assembly 39624-SZ3-L01 (if you want/ need it).

**I'LL MAKE A SUGGESTION HERE- BUT DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ABILITIES ARE OF THE READERS OF THIS POST TO WORK ON THEIR OWN CARS, BUT THIS MODIFICATION HAS WORKED WELL ON MY CAR.

If you're like me and you want the power outlet hot all the time, consider hooking the power wire from the power port to a fuse in the fuse box that is hot all the time. I used the original power port plug and made a jumper wire from the ground side of the plug to the outlet. I then used a female spade connector to the hot side of the power port plug and ran a wire from it to the fuse box, which is really close by. I bought a fuse splitter on EBAY, connected it to the wire from the hot position of the power port and then searched the unused fuse locations in the fuse box with a test light until I found one hot all the time. I put 2 10 amp fuses into the fuse splitter and now the power outlet is hot all the time.

All you have to remember is to not leave anything connected to the power port overnight that could run the battery down!

 

I'm not seeing it. Can you give me the direct link?

Edit: Found what you are talking about. I think you've misunderstood what I'm looking for which is the rubber plug for the AUX port on the radio unit. I'm not looking for a cover for the power outlet (formerly a cigarette lighter on older cars).

 

Sorry- my bad. I didn't see the reference to the radio.

Questions like this are easily answered by a call to the local Honda parts dept. I made the call for you and here's what the dealer says: the radio auxilary input cover is sold as a unit with the radio face plate, and not sold separately.The face plate parts number is 39100-TK6-A01CP.

Apparently there was a Honda bulletin out on the '08-'12 Fits where they acknowledged a problem with that plug. There was actually 3 ways to order it- one was a warranty replacement face plate, a second is refurbished and the third is customer pay.
